Not addressing your question though curious about syntax.

If etc. is a stem variable, does the syntax need to be:

"pipe stem etc." for the input stage?

Subject: writing a temporary data set?

On TSO, I was given an exec that goes:

  'PIPE' etc. '| stack'
  'EXECIO * DISKW SYSIN ( FINI'

to write a temporary file to be used by another program.  If I try to
skip the stack:

  'PIPE' etc. '| > dd=sysin'

all I get is a complaint that it can't be opened.  What am I missing?
